As with all "classic algorithms," its output was deterministic: it produced the same result for the same input every time. It would always finish, and it always produced the optimal, correct result.

So, an algorithm is the process a computer uses to transform input data into output data. A simple concept, and yet every piece of technology that you touch involves many algorithms.

How to ID an algorithm So is Stanford’s “algorithm” an algorithm? That depends how you define the term. While there’s no universally accepted definition, a common one comes from a 1971 ...

Addressing the importance of the algorithm design process, Deterministic Operations Research focuses on the design of solution methods for both continuous and discrete linear optimization problems.

We consider several classical models in deterministic inventory theory: the single-item lot-sizing problem, the joint replenishment problem, and the multistage assembly problem. These inventory models ...

Twitter recently shared the details of why their RPC framework Finagle implements a client-side load balancing using a deterministic aperture algorithm for their microservices architecture ...
